who's here after the grammys 2024?! Man does she have a phenomenal voice!

Good grief. That amazing woman has such songwriting skills and smooth delivery. Seriously, smooth. Even when the pace picks up, she’s so steady. Praise the music gods for gifting us Tracy Chapman.

A smile that lights up a room. A voice that gives me goosebumps. Lyrics that tell a story. Smooth sounds all the way around.

Tracy Chapman is one of the greatest American artists. Goddam

She helped bring the blues back in the 90's

Perhaps the most underated song writer/singer ever. She is extraordinary and never recognized as she should have been

I'm afraid I needed the Grammys to remind me of her giant talent.

She’s her own vibe I swear! Ever since back in the day & still going! 🔥🔥♥️✨💥✨🎶🎵✨🫶🏻✨♥️

Tracy is so unique. There is simply no one like her. She's Beautiful.

“Tracy Tracy please come back and sing to us!” There is absolutely no one that can do what this awesome lady does, and every single song is so clear and easy to sing along with! We all need her messages through music today moreso than ever! I still watch listen and feel them 24/7! Thank You Tracy Chapman!

She's physically beautiful. She sings beautifully. Her messages in her music are absolutely beautiful. I've been listening to you since you first started singing.

I really hope she goes on tour in 2024 because THAT WAS A PERFORMANCE!!!!

She is so casually amazing! Nothing is forced. No gratuitous runs or anything, but man I’d want to be on the front row and catch that awesome vibe.

Tracy Chapman is going to mess around and make rock mainstream again. ❤

This was even better than I was expecting, and I was expecting greatness. Also great to see her still going. (Grammy awards 2024) 🌹

She does not need back up singers in my opinion- her voice is amazing. When I was a child my mum and her siblings loved her music and I surprised myself to see I still remember lyrics of the famous songs 😊 thanks to the Grammys I have now listened to many of her songs this past week !

Austin City Limits really knows how to showcase artists of every genre. Thank you, PBS, for this gift!

Fantastic song for mature adults. Her music is confrontational, music of love, lust, rage, righting injustices. I also applaud Tracy Chapman's liberal political perspectives in her music.

Still have the girl crush 36 years later.... phenomenal voice....🎶🎵🎼❤

Seriously one of the most gifted female musicians in our lifetime!

Its 2023 I'm 60 years old and I still listen to Tracy everyday

She's too cool for school. I love this woman's vibe.

Her Glow! Her Smile! Her Voice! Her music has helped me during the hardest moments ❤

This particular song resonates with me,we all have been there,lonely,angry,broken hearted,Squeezed too much I might lose my life,and she can play. I love this version because it is played in 100 bpm and 200 bpm…..WOW!!!!! The 200 bpm…her musical talent is Amazing…The Vibe,the change of pace gets us in that place💙You go Girl……..PLEASE ANNOUNCE YOUR WINTER TOUR AND GIVE US A REASON ❤❤❤❤❤

Long timer admirer, made my friends listen -- who is that TRACY. LISTEN HERE❤🤠

Joy and pain in her voice. Honest, true. Thank you, Miss Chapman.

Beautiful performance. It's nice to hear somebody sing and to be able to understand ever word

Give me one reason to stay here And I'll turn right back around Give me one reason to stay here And I'll turn right back around Said I don't want to leave you lonely You got to make me change my mind Baby I got your number Oh and I know that you got mine You know that I called you I called you many times You can call me baby You can call me anytime, you got to call me Give me one reason to stay here And I'll turn right back around (You can see me turnin') Give me one reason to stay here And I'll turn right back around (You can see me turnin') Said I don't want leave you lonely You got to make me change my mind I don't want no one to squeeze me They might take away my life I don't want no one to squeeze me They might take away my life I just want someone to hold me Oh and rock me through the night This youthful heart can love you Yes and give you what you need I said this youthful heart can love you Oh and give you what you need But I'm too old to go chasin' you around Wastin' my precious energy Give me one reason to stay here Yes and I'll turn right back around (You can see me turnin') Give me one reason to stay here Oh I'll turn right back around (You can see me turnin') Said I don't want leave you lonely You got to make me change my mind Baby just give me one reason Oh give me just one reason why Baby just give me one reason Oh give me just one reason why I should stay Said I told you that I loved you And there ain't no more to say

She was my sound track going thru cancer treatment. Thank you lady.

Tracy's smile is so infectious. Her voice is so immeasurably pleasing. I hope I get to one day hear her live

I loved the original version of this song but this is over the top! Go Tracy!!!

Her voice is so smooth and soothing...and the way she plays her guitar, like its just flowing thru her ..shes amazing!❤️

I'm here because I've loved Tracy since 1997

NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I HEAR THIS I ALWAYS LOVE IT ❤❤❤❤❤

Her band deserves props too. Very skilled musicians.

I love miss Tracy Chapman's voice because it comes from deep down in her soul...she has a voice of an an Angel...she can wake the dead with her voice..

Love Tracy Chapman. Beautiful voice amazing lyrics. Timeless. So underrated.

Simply Marvelous... there's no one like her....she has her own style....she sangs the real ...good ole FASHION MUSIC....MY GIRL..!!!! EVEN MY CHILDREN LOVES HER

Not many artists are instantly recognized by an opening riff. Tracy does it often. Adore this woman's voice and her music/lyrics. Legendary. She will go down in history as one of the greatest artists ever. I SO admire her. Have her CD's that I listen to regularly still. Thanks for the decades of listening to great music Tracy!

I'm 70 and it has been an honor and pleasure to have listened to Tracy for half of my life! I'm truly enjoying the vids of these older performances resurfacing. Good times, good memories of this legendary artist💖

Tracy Chapman has been one of my favs since she started

Never seen this version before. Absolutely incredible!!!!!

that voice, that smile, those lyrics...timeless...just a lovely.soul.

Absolutely adore her music ! One heck of a singer 💕🥰

It was early 2000s in Houston at a club called Chances. I stepped on the stage and sang this song with a live band. It was wonderful. The audience was really receptive. No experience has ever matched that.

Beautiful! She gives me chills. I have always loved her. She warms my soul.

What? TRACY CHAPMAN WELCOME BACK. AWESOMENESS 🌹 HOLY CREATOR? IT'S HER.

I have loved Tracy Chapman since her debut in 1988, still play her music constantly, she’s so beautiful and effortlessly cool 😎, she’s just SO Good, I just can never get to much Tracey & I’ve felt this way for over 35 years now. I am so glad that Luke covered Fast Car, which brought Tracey out of retirement ❣️❣️❣️👏👏👏🥰

We started listening to Tracy when we were stationed in Germany back in the 90's! Love her to this day! Excellent bluesie vibe!

Beautiful to watch this woman lose herself (and any nerves) in the music!!! What a gifted songwriter!

I love how effortless her singing is. Her songs are great. They show off her talent in a non over the top way. Shes just herself

I came here after her performance at the Grammys 2024. She was and is still an absolutely outstanding artist. First time I hear this version of Give Me One Reason and I absolutely like it. What a vibe change at 4:20. Phenomenal!

I'm a Tracy OG...what I respected most, from the start was her presence... "take it or leave it honey, my life is owned by ME". 🙂 Luv that woman, that talent, that spirit, that amazing easy-going self-security. Did u all get the chills? Start moving those shoulders, bopping ur head, closing ur eyes? 🥴 Then you've been mesmerized too! Bless u g/f n all of u reading this too.

Amazing singer,could listen to this performance all day long ! Tracy Chapman is one of the best !!!

I've never heard this "Split Personality" version before, but I just love it. Genius.

My gosh this is pure live music at its best unreal.

My friend got a singer to sing this song to me directly at a gig in oz because i played it constantly when I was in a downer, long long time ago, my mate has recently passed and I just want to say thanks again for her empathy, hope someone out there gets the benefit from reading this. Cheers .

I have listened to Tracy Chapman's unique voice for over thirty years and I will never tire, of her amazing talent.

This lady knows the meaning of poetry and soul. She delivers in a category all her own.

She had one hell of a voice and she could play. Very talented indeed

I’ve had a major crush on her for decades. ❤

Come on Tracy, miss you and your voices. We need more of your music!

I am putting in my vote for the best of

She has one of greatest voices of all time ❤❤❤❤❤😁😁😁😁

Good god, that hits the heart. This song has given me strength when I needed it most..may others find the medicine they need in it..❤

Brilliance per Tracy's norm...genius...her vocals her lyrics, her amazing 'guitar' and instrumental talent, if she comes back to Toronto I am there!!!!!!💜💜❤❤

Tracy won a reward for singing "Fast Car"

Before my dad passed we heard this song and he made find it for him. It was a few years ago sorry Tracy

Always loved this song. Simple, classic 8 bar blues. Traci Chapman's voice is exquisite. Guy on lead guitar is excellent, although he looks like he's fixin' to run out of the room and blow.

Amazing. There is no comparison..she is totally unique. I make the world shut down to let me listen. My #1 ..and this is wonderful - never heard this version except here.

This woman is intensely wonderful! 🎉

Tracy has a voice that just works so well playing live. Incredible performance.

OMG what a great artist I LOVE HER❤😊

She's Definitely one of a kind .Insain on the guitar &her voice inspirational ❤

Love Tracy. I come across her music every now and then. Reminds me of college days.

I apologize..mis Tracey..u opened for Bob Dylan...rhe memories of rhe concert will stay with me for all eternity,.

Love that woman! WHAT A VOICE !

She has a pure soul. I love this song.

She finally got her award

I listened back when she first released it. Never understood how she could be so overlooked by people. Maybe now she'll get the respect she deserved all along.

Can’t get enough Tracy Chapman ❤

So, I was living on a very old farm in the south of West Germany in the 80s, and I made a pilgrimage to the Big City (Stuttgart) every month or so, and one time, since my German hippie roommate had acquired/cobbled together a CD player, I stopped into one of those record shops on the Koenigsstrasse, or whatever that main shopping district high street might be called, and I bought 6 CDs. The only two I remember with any certainty are XTC's Skylarking and the epic, breakout album from Tracy Chapman. Love on a Farm Boy's Wages and Give Me One Reason are still in constant rotation on my mind's stereo.

The wind is strong today. It blew me right back to this video again.

Don’t forget the back up singers…for some reason I love watching backup singers

Lyrics Enjoy Give me one reason to stay here And I'll turn right back around Give me one reason to stay here And I'll turn right back around Said I don't want to leave you lonely You got to make me change my mind Baby I got your number Oh and I know that you got mine You know that I called you I called you many times You can call me baby You can call me anytime, you got to call me Give me one reason to stay here And I'll turn right back around (You can see me turnin') Give me one reason to stay here And I'll turn right back around (You can see me turnin') Said I don't want leave you lonely You got to make me change my mind I don't want no one to squeeze me They might take away my life I don't want no one to squeeze me They might take away my life I just want someone to hold me Oh and rock me through the night This youthful heart can love you Yes and give you what you need I said this youthful heart can love you Oh and give you what you need But I'm too old to go chasin' you around Wastin' my precious energy Give me one reason to stay here Yes and I'll turn right back around (You can see me turnin') Give me one reason to stay here Oh I'll turn right back around (You can see me turnin') Said I don't want leave you lonely You got to make me change my mind Baby just give me one reason Oh give me just one reason why Baby just give me one reason Oh give me just one reason why I should stay Said I told you that I loved you And there ain't no more to say

Tracy finally received her accolades for her unique music. Her voice is soothing to the soul. I would love to see her in concert.

I remember how important DivX was to the community advancement and technology in media💚✊🏿💚

Yeah, great song. Yeah, she can sing, but hot damn that tone, that band, and that smile.

Fantastic voice and presence,she's in the groove in this live performance.

All People and Black People to be so wonderful and beautiful around the World. Honour and Respekt for you all. Gemeinsam sind wir stark 💪 und erreichen ❤️ was wir wollen. Gary kicking Wolf 🐺 Shoshone Lakota Mix ❤️ from Germany A'HO

Love her , her music and her smile !!!!

"Give Me One Reason" Single by Tracy Chapman from the album New Beginning B-side "The Rape of the World" Released November 19, 1995 Genre Blues rock[1] Length 4:30 Label Elektra Songwriter(s) Tracy Chapman Producer(s) Don Gehman Tracy Chapman Tracy Chapman singles chronology "Dreaming on a World" (1992) "Give Me One Reason" (1995) "New Beginning" (1996) Audio sample Duration: 28 seconds.0:28 "Give Me One Reason" filehelp "Give Me One Reason" is a song written and performed by American singer-songwriter Tracy Chapman. It was included on her fourth studio album, New Beginning (1995), and was released as a single in various territories between November 1995 and March 1997, her first since 1992's "Dreaming on a World". The song is Chapman's biggest US hit, reaching number three on the Billboard Hot 100. It is also her biggest hit in Australia, where it reached number three as well, and it topped the charts of Canada and Iceland. Elsewhere, the song reached number 16 in New Zealand, but it underperformed in the United Kingdom, peaking at number 95 in March 1997. Chapman first performed "Give Me One Reason" during her 1988 tour, seven years before its release.[2] She also performed the song on the December 16, 1989, episode of Saturday Night Live.[3] Chapman earned the Grammy Award for Best Rock Song for the track, and it was also nominated for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Female Rock Vocal Performance at the Grammy Awards of 1997.[4] A version of this song featuring Eric Clapton was included on the 1999 compilation album A Very Special Christmas Live. A music video was released to promote the single. Critical reception Alan Jones from Music Week wrote, "Less intense and somewhat looser than her benchmark hit Fast Car, it perfectly mixes her folksy style with traditional R&B qualities, intelligent lyrics and that edgy distinctive voice. Compelling listening."[5] Pitchfork said the song was, "strutting along a plucked, head-nodding guitar melody and Chapman’s grainy alto. Centering on an imbalanced relationship, each verse grows more frustrated from a lack of reciprocity; then the band kicks in and the pleading in her voice becomes cathartic, begging for a reason to stay while knowing it won’t come."[6]

Oh my! This IS the best version! Wish she was still performing!

LOVE this smokin' hot rock steady live version!

I have loved Tracy for many years because she is real. Willum

I don’t know how you can be so good at something like these two.

I love how they sped up at the end. I just wish the sound quality were better.

Love this song 🎵. Such an amazing voice ❤

We still love u Tracy in 2024

Finally got her acknowledgment as a great writer, and an award at the CMA in 2023
